Thursday is education & youth day on The Grant Brief.
Two education funders open right now, with very different windows.
1. Martha Holden Jennings Foundation: Open Grants
Funds K-12 educators and Ohio public schools to test new ideas in classroom learning. Awards range from $4,000 to $55,000. The Foundation runs four grant cycles annually with deadlines on February 15, May 15, August 15, and October 15. Next deadline: May 15, 2026, just 15 days out.
2. The Joyce Foundation: Education & Economic Mobility
Funds policy, research, and programs that align K-12 and postsecondary systems and expand work-based learning for underserved students. Geographic focus on the Great Lakes region (IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI). Letters of inquiry accepted year-round; the next board proposal deadline is August 3, 2026.
A data point worth knowing: across the 5,000+ education programs we track with active deadlines, March through May accounts for 56 percent of all education-grant deadlines in a given year. April alone (1,366 programs) has more deadlines than all of summer combined. If you're scoping projects, your strongest application windows are right now or the late-fall recurring cycles. Summer is a planning season, not a submission season.
For those running youth and education programs: do you find your team more productive applying during the spring crunch, or do the late-fall windows actually let you write a stronger proposal?
